Abstract:

The sugar cane fiber geotexiles performed as well as the commercial products and exhibited grass propagation and slope protection equivalent to other products. Sugar cane fiber mats were superior in conformation to the slope even after heavy rains. Because of the long fiber entanglements, short fiber matting, and the retained lignin acting as an adhesive, the sugar cane masts did not need stitching to maintain their shape and bulk properties. The suger cane mats provide the potential for a substantial savings in cost in addition to providing a market for a waste product.
